On January 7, 2020, Fotis Dulos, the estranged husband of Jennifer Dulos, a mother of five who went missing from her home in an affluent area of Connecticut last year, was arrested and charged with her murder, according to his lawyer, Norm Pattis.
Mr. Dulos, 52, was arrested at his home in Farmington, Conn., at around 11 a.m. and was being held on a $6 million bond, Mr. Pattis said. He was due in court the next day.
The authorities were also seeking to serve two other warrants in the case, Mr. Pattis said. One was for a murder charge and the other was for conspiracy to commit murder.
Ms. Dulos's disappearance in May 2019 launched a statewide search that had law enforcement agencies looking for her across much of Connecticut. Her remains were never found.
For months, investigators had been focused on Mr. Dulos, who and his girlfriend, Michelle C. Troconis, 44, were arrested and charged with hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence in June 2019. Another evidence tampering charge was later added, in September 2019.
Ms. Dulos, 50, was first reported missing on May 24, 2019. That morning, law enforcement officials said, she drove her children to a private school in New Canaan, Conn., a wealthy community located about 45 miles north of Midtown Manhattan.
